Rafa Benitez has admitted that moves have been made to keep him at Newcastle beyond the end of next season, and spoke about being proud that his management record has seen him linked to the Arsenal job.
Asked by Spanish radio if he saw himself at Newcastle for many more seasons, Benitez said: ‘Yes, in principal we are relaxed. We have one more year of contract and now the board are trying that we talk a little bit about the future because the talk now is always about “projects”.
‘With so much investment it is increasingly difficult but they want to link us to the club for more time so that we can make a stronger team if possible.
